Neal Digital Gallery | Beijing, China

Seeing my work exhibited in Beijing was especially meaningful because it followed a lengthy approval process before it could be shown in China. When I learned that "Rugged Past, Radiant Present" had been accepted for the Worlds of Wonder exhibition at Neal Digital Gallery, I felt both honoured and grateful. Knowing that an image of Ireland’s ancient Corcomroe Abbey, crowned by a brilliant rainbow, would be viewed by visitors on the other side of the world was a remarkable experience.

Located in Xidan Joy City, one of Beijing’s premier shopping and cultural destinations, Neal Digital Gallery is an innovative exhibition space dedicated to digital art. The Worlds of Wonder exhibition brought together photographers and digital artists from around the globe, with the exhibition curated by Stanley Aryanto of The Wicked Hunt Photography in collaboration with Sloika and an international group of sponsors. It was a privilege to have my work included in such a diverse collection of contemporary imagery.

Below you’ll find the exhibition dates, the artwork that was featured and the story behind my participation in this memorable exhibition in Beijing.
